## Description

**FHDCU Dynamic Counter Update** is a simple yet powerful WordPress plugin designed
to dynamically display a counter that updates itself every minute. The counter value
is incremented by a random number (between 8 and 9) and saved to the database. You
can easily display the counter anywhere on your site using a shortcode, and manually
manage its value via an intuitive settings page in the WordPress admin.

### Key Features:

 * **Dynamic Updates**: The counter automatically increases by a random value every
   minute.
 * **Easy Integration**: Use the `[fhdcu_dynamic_counter]` shortcode to display 
   the counter on any page or post.
 * **Manual Reset**: Set or reset the counter value via the admin settings page.
 * **Customizable Cron Job**: Runs on a lightweight, custom one-minute cron schedule.
 * **Frontend Styling**: Includes default CSS and JavaScript for seamless integration.

### Usage

To display the counter, simply add the following shortcode to a page or post:
 [
fhdcu_dynamic_counter]

The counter will dynamically update its value every minute.
